A movement has been started to change
the next annual meeting of the grand
lodge Of masoRs from Vancouver to Port
Townsend. Tho reason OF this is that it
occurs about the time fixed for the an
pual reunion of pioneers to take place
here in June-and so many of the Ma
sonic brethren are also members OF the
pioneer association, and want 20 attend
both, that it wonld be an accommodation
all around to have them come together.
The matter was bFoached when Grand
Master Zeigler was here few days age,
and he will. upon official request, issue
I. circular letter TO all subordinate ma
sonic lodges for their action in the pro-
posed change. OF course Vancouver
would get the neat grand lodge session.

bake, what a jolly good time we would
have with the mBsons and pioneers all
